a Narrow Escape.

narrow escape of lady from drowning at
Chebeague Island, She was sketching on
the rocks when a wave washed her off. A
similar case occurred at Portland Light Sun
day afternoon. Three ladies were on the
rocks, sketchiDg, reading and watching the
breakers, when wave, much higher than
common, rolled in and took all three off their
feet. Luckily they were washed into pool
that was not above their waists, instead of
out to sea. There was no one about to res
cue them, or who saw them from a distance
and came to their assistance, and they had
to scramble outas best the could, and reached
the cottage in very demoralized condition.

Excursion to Boothbay.

The Maine Central excursion next Thurs
day to Boothbay and the charming islands
in that locality offers to the people of Port
land and vicinity fine opportunity for tax
ing in one day one of the most delightful
trips on the Maine coast. Trains will leave
the city early in the morning and arrive at
Bath in time for the excursionists to take
the morning boats for the islands. The sail
from Bath to Boothbay down the winding
Sasanoa river can hardly be surpassed in
New England in beauty of scenery. Par
ticulars in regard to fare and the time of
leaving and returning may be learned from

The Birth Returns

The returns of births in this city for the
year, ending the last day of March last, have
at last been completed and filed with the City
Clerk.
Mr.. John e. Holden, who took the census
of school children, was also employed to OBJ
tain the number of births; his return gives
GAL.
By law it is the duty of the Assessors also
to return the births, and this duty is done by
the Assistant Assessors for the several
wards. Their return gives 472 as the correct
number. If physicians were by law required
to make these returns, as in many States,
doubtless their return would exceed the
highest figure here given.

A Rare Proceeding.

This morning the United States grand jury
will reassemble. This is necessary in order
to find an indictment against person who
has violated the United States laws and who
otherwise would escape punishment owing
to the statute of limitation. The reassem-

stances is rare. If the grand jury find an in
dictment, the prisoner will be tried before
Judge Webb. 1t is said to be a case of al
legged violation of the pension laws.
